Arguably the top prospect in Thursday’s group was Virginia small forward Justin Anderson, who spoke about the vibe and expectation when stepping on the Lakers’ practice floor according to Lakers Reporter Mike Trudell:

Prospect Justin Anderson on his workout: "You feel (the Lakers vibe). There's a certain expectation when you step into that (environment)."

Viewed as one of the draft’s premier on-ball defenders, Anderson has a lot of tools teams are looking for in a wing. His massive wingspan makes up for measuring at just over 6’6 in shoes, slightly below average for a small forward. Anderson also shot an impressive 45 percent from three-point range last season, but scouts worry that it may not be sustainable as he struggled shooting after returning from a wrist injury and has continued his shooting struggles at the Draft Combine.

Anderson is viewed as a mid-to-late first round pick and could be available when the Lakers pick at 27, though most outlets have him going earlier. The Lakers may need to trade up a few spots if they hope to land him.
